Update: Also of note: the show's final credits were set to Neutral Milk Hotel's "Holland, 1945", rather than the usual theme for "The Colbert Report". Colbert has openly expressed his love of both the band and the song.

Last night, Stephen Colbert bid adieu to "The Colbert Report" before disembarking for David Letterman's soon-to-be-vacant "Late Show". To help him mark the end of an era, Colbert brought out a cavalcade of celebrities – Alex Trebek! Katie Couric! Former President Bill Clinton! – to do a sing-along to Vera Lynn's "We'll Meet Again", and a number of musicians found themselves in the mix.

Of course, we got to see R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe (alive, well, and enjoying the company of James Franco, "Sesame Street"'s Cookie Monster, and others after being liberated from Colbert's shelf earlier this week) but the sketch also included cameos from Wilco's Jeff Tweedy, Randy Newman, Willie Nelson, Barry Mannilow, Cyndi Lauper (who found herself standing next to Big Bird from "Sesame Street"), and countless other stars. Watch the whole thing below.

Tonight's episode of "The Colbert Report" is, sadly, the final one before Stephen Colbert eventually takes David Letterman's seat at "Late Show". On last night's episode, Stephen took care of some urgent business: He addressed what would happen to R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe, who has been sitting on the "Report" shelf since 2011.

Charli XCX was the musical guest on last night's episode of "Saturday Night Live". Martin Freeman hosted. Joined by an all-female band wearing matching suits and ties, she did her Suckersingles "Boom Clap" and "Break the Rules". Prior to the performance, she told MTV that she was so nervous for the appearance that she "might vomit". (Fortunately, she didn't.) Watch it below.

Stephen Colbert will film his last episodes of "The Colbert Report" next week, and according to Billboard, Kendrick Lamar will be one of the show's final guests. "The Colbert Report" is coming to an end after 10 years as Colbert preps to take over Letterman's role as host of "The Late Show" in late 2015.
